History: Samara’s Mother died when she was born and her father went off to sea-never to return. Samara was passed on from relative to relative, many who were often cruel to her, and even afraid of her, and always gossiping that she was “cursed” because of her parent’s fate. Finally she was thrust upon her Great Aunt Eliza’s good graces, but was initially turned away. Eliza despised children, especially curious little girls, who could potentially break her fragile heirlooms. Finally she took Samara in to maintain a good reputation among her family and friends, but she mostly ignored her young niece, locking her away in her attic bedroom. Despite this Samara was content for a while, trapped in a world of her own making, though she was hiding a dark secret: she sometimes had strange visions, and could see the dead. This frightened her and gave her nightmares, but no matter what she did she saw them everywhere. One night as she was getting ready for bed she saw a figure climbing through her small window…was he a ghost? No he was real, or so he appeared. He was pale and thin (ghostly even), with strange eyes and hair, and his nails were filthy as though he just clawed his way out of a grave. Intrigued Samara asked him many questions, getting nothing but sarcastic riddles for answers; though he told her his name was Grave. With this mystery unlocked they began a fragile friendship, and Samara often saw him wandering her family’s graveyard at night, following the dim light of his lantern as he went. One night she decided to follow him and see for herself what he did all night. Little did she know this was the beginning of a great and terrible adventure for both of them.

Personality: Stubborn, sly, sarcastic, aloof, dangerous, earthy and sensual, hot-tempered, charismatic, tender and honest at times, but mostly a dishonest fiend.
History: Not much is known about this strange character who insists his name is only "Grave." He lives in cemeteries of all kinds, in empty crypts, and mausoleums, open graves, or sometimes under bridges. He cares very little about his appearance, and spends most of time grave robbing and hawking whatever he finds, though he only ever sleeps during the day. He's strong and resourceful, and always seems to get his way in any situation. He cheats and drinks too much, and can have a very bad temper when he loses at cards. His greatest weaknesses are an honest streak that gets him into trouble more often than not, and a young rich girl he meets one night while stumbling into her room. He owed a gambling debt and was looking for some quick cash when he meets Samara who seems so sweet, sad, and innocent he can't help but play with her a bit. He convinces her he's actually an Incubus, and even steals a kiss from her, though she seems hardly impressed. She only asks him his name and then promptly falls asleep as though she had only been dreaming. Slightly taken aback by her strong will and intelligence, he leaves with an air of disappointment-for you see he knows he could never really be friends with her as he's keeping a deep dark secret: he's actually a warrior who slays the dead and daemons in the night. Grave knows that would only frighten the girl away, so he decides never to see her again. Little does he know that on one dark and misty night, that he's being followed.
